Wouldn't Synergy be a better solution for what you are trying to do: use one computer's mouse on a an other one. I've taken the Chat Server sample project, changed the service dictionary accodingly (I hope) and ran it. Then I tried to have another BT- equipped Mac find the Mouse service. But it doesn't work. Problem is that I don't know why. There's not much of a debugging option there, it seems to me. One of the reasons why the other Mac fails to detect the mouse service might be that the serving Mac still identifies itself as a "Computer" and not as a "Peripheral". And that it does not include the "Positioning" feature in its service class info. I've tried changing both in the Bluetooth Explorer, but that change seems to have no effect on the client Mac side - there, the Mac keeps appearing as a Computer device without the Positioning feature. But I don't even know if that matters as I do not know the rules by which the Mac searches for a Mouse or other HID devices (e.g. a Keyboard). E.g, does the initial search for a Mouse in the Bluettoth Setup Assistant even query the SDP records, or does it only check the device class info? A trace with PacketLogger suggests to me that the SDP record is _not_ checked at that point. Does that mean I cannot provide a Mouse service at all on a Mac?
